Lin Yi followed Master Jingkong to climb up the mountain.
She was a little curious. The altitude of this mountain was definitely not as high as Yunlan Mountain. Why did she see clouds and mist after climbing a few steps?
And honestly speaking, although it seems steep, I don’t feel out of breath when going up the mountain, and the air is not thin.
Jingkong took Lin Yi to a small house, which was the wing where they lived.
I saw a big tree in the yard with a layer of pebbles under the tree.
Lin Yi was shocked.
"Master Jingkong, my mother also planted a tree in the house. There are many cobblestones under the tree. The layout is similar to this one. What's the mystery?"
Lin Yi pointed to the big tree in the courtyard.
Jingkong smiled and said, "Donor Lin, have you ever heard of the origin of this mountain?"
"My little girl is ignorant and has never heard of..."
"This place is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. It is said that it is to protect a Taoist master on the mountain. She went through all kinds of hardships when she was young and was constantly wasted by fate. Later, she gave up everything and came here to practice, and finally one day she suddenly became enlightened. It seemed to be guided by the Buddha. She planted this tree here.”
Jingkong clasped his hands together and bowed devoutly to the big tree.
"Donor Lin, what is paved under the tree is not ordinary stones, but spiritual energy gathered on the mountain. However, it looks like ordinary pebbles. But people who are enlightened can use these spiritual stones to see under the tree. See some phantoms and end the mortal world."
Jingkong paused. It was only after he had a profound enlightenment that he was lucky enough to see some phantoms under this tree.
"In order to commemorate that great uncle, we named it Chong, and only those who are destined to see the phantom can see the phantom, so we called this mountain Chonghuan Mountain. Donor Xiao also came here to practice for his obsession. Donor Lin must go. I looked under the tree and wondered if I could resolve the troubles in my heart."
Lin Yi found it very magical. She was not superstitious and was a scientist after all.
It just happened that she encountered an incredible time-travel incident.
She sighed, a little helpless.
But the so-called origins are generally made-up legends, deliberately adding some sacred color and used to persuade believers...
But what fantasy is woven into this origin?
Lin Yi walked slowly to the foot of the tree and looked up at the towering tree.
Looking closer, she saw that the pebbles under the tree were so crystal clear, which made her feel a little dazed.
She casually stretched out her hand to touch the tree, and suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.
It seemed that the air became thicker at this moment, and the surrounding sounds became very distant.
She closed her eyes unconsciously.
Grandma is smiling to herself.
Lin Yi suddenly felt very peaceful in her heart. Even if grandma didn't say anything, she could still feel the message conveyed in her eyes.
Grandma was very good and told her to live well.
Lin Yi opened his eyes, which was indeed a bit strange.
Grandma is the person she wants to see but can't. Is this really a holy place where she can see the person she misses again?
She closed her eyes again and stroked the tree reverently.
However, I saw nothing this time.
It's all just a coincidence.
Lin Yi chuckled and walked back to Master Jingkong. She just wanted to inquire about the truth about Xiao Su's death, and did not need to pass on the teachings.
However, no matter how hard it seemed that the master's wife was unwilling to tell him, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Seeing that she was a little unwilling, Jingkong sighed slightly.
She turned to the woman next to her and ordered: "Fuan Hui, please take this Benefactor Lin around."
"Yes, uncle."
After saying that, Jingkong turned around and walked towards the chanting hall.
The nun named Yuan Hui nodded to Lin Yi and clasped her hands together.
"The poor nun Yuan Hui."
Lin Yi also put his hands together and saluted.
"Meet the master."
Lin Yi took a look at Master Yuan Hui. He looked less than forty and exuded the indifferent aura of a monk.
But somehow, she always felt a little warm.
"Donor Lin, when Donor Xiao went up the mountain to convert to Buddhism, it was a poor nun who was responsible for teaching and preaching."
Lin Yi was slightly stunned, thinking that this master's wife happened to be about the same age as Xiao Su, and wondered if she would be accommodating and reveal something.
She bowed respectfully again.
"Thank you Master Yuanhui for taking care of my mother."
Fuan Hui led Lin Yi to stop in front of a wing. She pointed to the wing and said, "Donor Xiao Su lived here back then."
After saying that, he opened the door and walked in.
I saw only a bamboo bed, a quilt, a few scriptures, and an incense burner, very simple.
Fuan Hui showed a nostalgic look and said eloquently: "Donor Xiao... is a very dedicated woman. When she came here, she wanted to convert to Buddhism, but because her sweetheart died on the battlefield, she was willing to never marry and take her with her. I will spend my whole life here thinking about my sweetheart. It’s a pity..."
Lin Yi waited for her next words without saying a word.
Wan Hui glanced at her and was a little surprised to see her calm face.
Lin Yi looked at her dully, was he afraid that he would get excited?
"Haha...Master, what a pity."
"..."
Wan Hui frowned. Although Lin Yi looked very similar to Xiao Su, they felt completely different.
Xiao Su is a typical lady, but her daughter doesn't have that gentleness at all.
She sighed. After all, a child who has lost his mother will always have some shortcomings.
"General Lin, your father, used some means to force your mother down the mountain. When the poor nun saw her again, he saw that she was taking you, dressed in plain clothes, and wanted to convert to Buddhism."
Lin Yi hummed, saying that the original person had met this master when he was a child, no wonder he looked so friendly.
"Then why did mother go up the mountain again?"
Wan Hui hesitated for a moment.
"Donor Xiao learned that her sweetheart was framed and died on the border..."
Lin Yi suddenly realized that this was the trick.
"The person who designed it is the little girl's father, right?"
Wan Hui was noncommittal, she turned around and looked at Lin Yi quietly.
This face really looks like Xiao Su.
Lin Yi pursed her lips and continued: "My mother's sweetheart was killed by my father. She probably came here again because she discovered the truth about that year and didn't want to live with her father anymore. Master Yuan Hui, my daughter is right Is it right?"
Seeing Yuan Hui frowning, Lin Yi chuckled.
"Master, these are all things in the past. My mother is still the same mother, and my father is still the same father. My daughter can't change anything. Since that is the path they chose, my daughter will not pursue anything. I came here this time because I want to sacrifice I would like to pay my respects to my mother and ask you the truth about that year."
Lin Yi felt that there was no need to ask anymore, the truth was already coming out.
Now that I think back to the memory of the original person in the study, it should be the scene of Xiao Su and Lin Weifu arguing.
It seems that because he was playing in the study and accidentally overturned the bookshelf, Xiao Su accidentally saw something while sorting out the letters that fell on the floor, and they quarreled with Lin Weifu.
Yuan Hui couldn't help but marveled when she saw Lin Yi being so calm.
Xiao Su's daughter is so transparent, I really underestimate her!
She was a little ashamed and a little relieved.
It is only at this age that she sees away many things. She is so young and has already let go!
Xiao Su gave birth to a good daughter.
"Your mother is the daughter of a cloth merchant from around the capital, and she was in love with her sweetheart. Unfortunately, not long after, her sweetheart was drafted into the army."
Wan Hui recalled the scene when Xiao Su told herself about her sweetheart.
Eyes full of tenderness but heartbroken.
Xiao Su, who lives in memories, is really pitiful. Although she has the intention to preach to her, she still falls short of some moral principles after all.
When the border was in turmoil, all vigorous men were willing to go to the border to guard the territory of Qin.
Xiao Su's sweetheart, Shen Lingwu, belonged to Lin Weifu, who was not a general at the time.
Lin Weifu secretly sent someone to cut off his hamstrings and throw him directly into the enemy's position.
After hearing the news of his death, Xiao Su was heartbroken and decided to go up the mountain and convert to Buddhism.
Yuan Hui sighed and continued: "Your mother's sweetheart died heroically. She didn't want to get married so she went to the mountains to practice Taoism. Later, General Lin came to see your mother many times and often told her sweetheart's life in the military and what she did at the last moment of her life. How brave and unyielding. Maybe I came here many times and gained your mother's trust. That time I took your mother down the mountain on the pretext of sweeping the grave. After that, I never went up the mountain again."
Lin Yi let out a long breath. At that time, she was curious about how the nun could get married. It seemed that she had a hidden secret.
In this case, Lin Weifu can be considered infatuated. Is he really willing to kill Xiao Su?
"However, your mother's sweetheart did not die. She finally returned to the capital, but she did not go to find your mother. It seems that her hamstring was broken by someone sent by your father, and she was already a disabled person. Maybe she felt that she could not take care of your mother. , never went to the Lin Mansion to seek justice. However, he should have secretly visited your mother. Perhaps he felt that General Lin loved her so much that he did not disturb her. Later, the letter to General Lin was seen by your mother. , only then did she know that her sweetheart was not dead. She also learned about General Lin’s scandal back then."
Lin Yi sneered coldly, Lin Weifu was so despicable and shameless, using this method to win people's love!
"Later, when your mother came here, your father chased her and started arguing in the back hill. It seemed that your mother said she wanted to find her sweetheart. Your father slapped her in anger and used too much force. You My mother fell directly from the mountain..."
Lin Yi was speechless and looked up at the rafters.
She felt a little aggrieved.
Can Lin Weifu's feelings for Xiao Su be called love?
"Donor Lin?"
Seeing her like this, Wan Hui regretted whether she had said too much.
Lin Yi calmed down, it was someone else's story after all.
She smiled politely and said, "Thank you, Master, for telling me the truth."
Yuan Hui breathed a sigh of relief.
"Donor Lin, you can rest in this room for a while, and the nun will prepare some fast food for you."
Lin Yi stayed in the wing for a while, had a vegetarian meal, and experienced Xiao Su's life back then.
It's too pure, and a modern person like me can never stand it.
She flipped through the scriptures on the desk and imagined what Xiao Su looked like. No matter what, Xiao Su must only have her sweetheart in her heart.
So what if you are pampered a lot!
Lin Yi's eyes darkened and she snorted coldly. She was very disdainful of Lin Weifu's method.
Back at Lin Mansion, Lin Yi stepped into Xincao Pavilion, and Lin Weifu rushed over.
"Yier... give it to your mother..."
Lin Weifu hesitated to speak, his sharp eyes fixed on Lin Yi's face.
"I gave my mother some incense."
Lin Yi said it innocently.
Lin Weifu smiled awkwardly, presumably Yi'er didn't hear anything. He breathed a sigh of relief and sent her to the boudoir.
"Yier, is everything going well today?"
"Father, today I am just paying homage to my mother. There is nothing wrong with it. Knowing that I am your daughter, the masters of Huanzhao'an are also very polite to me."
Lin Yi knew that he was testing her, but she didn't want to get involved in Xiao Su's matter.
She couldn't understand Lin Weifu's love for Xiao Su, and she didn't approve of his ways, but she couldn't find a reason to take revenge on him. After all, it was between them.
If Lin Weifu feels a little guilty, then prepare more dowry.
"Father, it's getting late. Yi'er is tired today. She will get married in a few days. Father, please don't treat Yi'er badly, but prepare a dowry for Yi'er well."
Lin Yi blinked with expectation.
Although Lin Weifu did not feel guilty, he also wanted to please King Han for the sake of the military talisman, so he secretly prepared some dowry.
He just didn't expect that someone would take advantage of his obsession with military symbols and make him make a fatal mistake.
